I really strongly doubt that Yaqoob would join a Meacher-led Respect.

This isn't happening, all of those people are Labour till they die, no matter how often they rebelled. However, a Livingstone-Galloway party is plausible. This isn't happening either. The Greens are interested in grassroots democracy, social justice and the environment. In 2004, none of the...

I actually vividly remember posting this - either as a list or a Map - at least a year ago, but frantic searching has been in vain, so the lawsuit will have to wait.

The Politibrit Hivemind strikes again.

Sure, but eighty years into a dictatorial regime, your dictators tend to lose their teeth.

I am in love with you. Gib facts about pre-war Wurttembergisch politics.

Yeah, if you want to be boring. My headcanon was a scrabble of splintering factions in the aftermath of Goldsmith's death, with a lot of them joining John Redwood's Tories and the hardliners vaguely sauntering towards UKIP.

Yeah but OTOH 2015 would have UKIP on 560+ seats, so it, er, wouldn't. And if you discount UKIP and Green in 2015 to make it more interesting, that actually only leaves three valid seats.

It would be possible - every election in between would get really silly because of all the UKIP and BNP results, but 2017 would obviously be mostly sane. Forgot to work it out as I went along, so this may not be right. Labour - 404 (-14) Conservative - 134 (-27) Referendum - 42 (+42) Liberal...

1997 General Election if every minor party candidate who saved his deposit (i.e. won more than 5%) magically won a seat. The Referendum Party obviously does very well, mostly taking Shire Tory seats with a couple of Labour and Lib Dem seats into the mix (notably, Lib Dem leader Paddy Ashdown is...

I can't believe I missed the opportunity to use 'New Labour, New Danger'.

The uptick in the polls began just after the NZF conference earlier in the year, of course. If the press have somewhere better to go, Winston doesn't get oxygen and he isn't mentioned negatively by Key. I don't think there would be any major changes to public policy, it would just lead to a...

In 2011, there was a referendum in New Zealand on whether to go from the MMP electoral system, which is a mix of proportional and plurality elements, back to First Past The Post. MMP won out, of course, but only with 57% of the vote. As a thought experiment, I was going to draw boundaries for...

@BrotherSideways At the moment, it's hard to think of a First World country where a Green Party isn't experiencing some degree of success. Obviously, it hasn't always been this way, and Green politics seems to have taken off mostly in the last decade or two. Could this have been avoided...

I was going to ask for Freie Wahler, but judging by your reaction to the FDP map I think it might kill you.
